I've heard this from a friend that's an Audi owner, but I thought it was kooky talk, and I still do think it's kooky talk. I won't let someone tell me I shouldn't get a certain car because it's for teenage boys or women over 40. Gimme a break haha.

Yea, my parents used to think Subarus were only for gay and lesbian people and actually questioned us when we got an Impreza for my wife, lol. I don't know where people get these stereotypes from.

lol hilarious, i don't know a single gay or lesbian who owns a subaru, almost every lesbian i've met drives a truck or jeep, (that's who i call when i need help moving or need something fixed)

Lotsa' military people with subies for sure...

And my favorite true stereotype: Driving an old Cadillac? Must be a thug or a granny for sure :)

Dunno. I've always heard the Forester is the national lesbian car. My sister-if-there-was-a-law (sister in law's partner) drives an Outback.

I think the gay/lesbian Subaru stereotype was from before the WRX and STi became so popular too.

sorry to hear about your car. I just found the forum a few days ago and was trying to get a feel for the people, places, and events that happen here. Seems like I rad quite a few of your treads right off the bat.

I recently bought my 2005 Mazda3 hatch and in the process of looking, I considered the VW GTI/Rabbit/Golf, Protege 5, Subaru Impreza Wagon, Audi A3 and A4, and Volve V40. I orignally wasn't cnsidering the 3, but it ended up working out the best for me. Now I want to do a lot of interior work to it since the previous owner didn't take the best care of it. It works well now, but I waned something to play with and customize anyway. I doubt I would do anything to those other cars except maybe the GTi). I guess I say all of this in the interest of saying I have driven a lot of those cars recently, and really couldn't find anything wrong with any of them, it all depends on what fits you the best.

I tried to PM you but I don't have that ability yet...need to post more I am guessing.

Good luck with car shopping and your potential transfer.

You guys are crazy, I would take a Forester XT turbo in a heart beat. Drop in a used STI turbo and turbo back exhaust, Cobb AP with a tune, used STI top mount intercooler, larger injectors and STI fuel pump and you're running quicker than an STI for chump change.
